Disabled Children being called retards.

'Retards' is just a shortened version of 'Mentally retarded' or 'Physically retarded' which is what they are. I dont see why its such a bad word. Sure, sometimes it can be used at the mentally/physically crippled in a bad way but in the end if we're going to abolish the word 'retard' we might aswell abolish all words that could cause insult to specific groups, including -
Sexist words
Racist words
Homophobic words
Anti-religious words
Swear words
we might aswell keep all of the above but just moniter their usage. Do you see?
